It will crust over the other ash in my firebox and shovels out in cakes, kind of easier, but you have to break it up to spread out. I like it best before it punks, more work to split, but it ignites and burns very hot, like oak, just not as long, not as much hot coal left over. It reeks like sileage when split fresh. Some years back, tree service took the remains of my favorite old elm down, think it was 96 growth rings, was a solid 48" across.
Most I have been dealing with here are in the 30-40 year range, and I'd have left every single one of them, but dutch elm seems to have killed them all. I have found buckthorn here so old that you can actually mill it. I have one that is 8" round along the tractor path. They will live a long time if not shaded out, burns really hot too. I saved some and kept dry for years.
Who knows, ground will freeze up again, and or frost come all the way out, that has already happened here. In-between, gets slick or saturated on top until the water can percolate through then the ground is solid again, or so it is in these parts.
Nice temperatures to work in though, not too cold, no wind, certainly no bugs, well except the ticks.
